JonBenét Ramsey's
Case

The home of the Ramsey's only gets more broken as you look into the history. Each of the family members have done thing or said things that make them look suspicious. After looking at all the information, it is most likely the mother, driven by jealousy and rage, who was accountable for this tragic death. 

Most people knew Patsy Ramsey as a kind, caring, and dedicated mother who loved her daughter, but is this the case (Augé, Karen)? Is she the person people think she is? Or, is she the cold-blooded killer of her six-year-old daughter JonBenet? Looking into the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, there are moments where one questions her reaction-is she someone shattered from this tragedy (Body Language: Murder Suspects John and Patsy Ramsey)? Or, is she worried about a conviction? As one dives deeper into the mother and her personality traits, one can see how obsessed she is with her family’s appearance and how unempathetic she is.  

Patsy Ramsy deeply cared for what others thought of her and her family is prevalent through statements and past history (Augé, Karen). In an interview talking about the most tragic event any parent could ever talk about, she is poised, with her make-up and hair done, and is in a nice outfit, which is surprising for someone whose daughter has just been murdered—showing that she cared more about her appearance than the death/murder of her daughter (Body Language: Murder Suspects John and Patsy Ramsey). However, this is prevalent not only in the interview. On the day after her daughter’s murder, she opens the doors of her house to the public; she is noted for not looking like what one would expect. Her hair is not messy, and she does not look as if her life is falling apart instead she is dressed to perfection as if nothing has happened (“Ramsey Clothing Journey.”). 

It has been noted that the mother appears to be un-empathetic (Body Language: Murder Suspects John and Patsy Ramsey). This is prevalent in interviews, and while she’s talking about a tragic incident of her daughter’s murder she’s sitting poised and emotionless (Body Language: Murder Suspects John and Patsy Ramsey). Even though this is a difficult subject, she is not leaning towards her husband for any support; she is merely looking very calm into the camera (Body Language: Murder Suspects John and Patsy Ramsey). There are times that she does show some emotion. This is rare in most of the interviews. If one had it muted, one would think she was talking about something that meant nothing to her and not the horrific murder of a very own daughter (Body Language: Murder Suspects John and Patsy Ramsey).  There are also other times the interview had questions about her verbiage. It seems disconnected. This is seen when she says things like “I love that child” and “who would do such a thing to a child?”. These are minor, but why not “I love my child” and “do such a thing to our child.?” This lack of concern leads you to believe that her bond with her daughter was questionable. It is hard to understand why she isn’t concerned and broken about the death of her daughter. 

Through these examples, one can break down patsy’s personality and character traits. One can see how Patsy cared for what others thought of her and her family and is un-empathetic towards the death of her daughter.
